오늘 뭐 먹지?
Global Daily History: February 18, 2026
Good morning. I’m Emma with your history snapshot for February 18th.
We begin in the cosmos. Today is a massive day for space exploration. In 1930, astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto, expanding the boundaries of our known solar system. Fast forward to 2021, and history was made again as NASA’s Perseverance rover successfully touched down on Mars, beginning a new search for ancient life.
Back on Earth, a literary revolution occurred in 1885. Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in the United States. It became a defining masterpiece that challenged the social consciousness of a nation.
And finally, we pause for a solemn anniversary. In 2003, a tragic arson attack on the Daegu Metropolitan Subway in South Korea claimed 192 lives. It remains a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of public safety.
From the Red Planet to the pages of history, that is your briefing for February 18th. Have a nice day.
Global News Update: February 17, 2026
Good morning and a very happy New Year to our viewers. I’m reporting this Tuesday morning, February 17th, 2026.
A distinct quiet has fallen over the usually bustling city streets today as the nation pauses to celebrate its most significant holiday: Seollal, the Korean Lunar New Year. While the highways have been gridlocked for days with millions returning to their hometowns, the atmosphere inside homes this morning is one of reverence and warmth.
For many families, the day began before sunrise, preparing the ritual table for 'Charye,' the ceremony honoring ancestors. Right now, living rooms across the country are filled with families dressed in traditional Hanbok, performing 'Sebae'—the deep, formal bow to elders to wish them health and longevity.
And, of course, the most important question of the morning: Have you had your bowl of Tteokguk yet? Tradition holds that you don't truly turn a year older until you’ve finished a bowl of this sliced rice cake soup. As we officially welcome the Year of the Horse, we expect families to spend the rest of the day sharing stories and playing folk games like Yutnori.
From all of us here at the news desk, have a safe holiday. Saehae bok mani badeuseyo.
Global Daily History: February 16
Good morning. Today, February 16th, marks several turning points that shaped our world.
In 1923, the silence of three millennia was broken in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. Archaeologist Howard Carter unsealed the burial chamber of King Tutankhamun, revealing the boy king’s golden sarcophagus and sparking a global fascination with Ancient Egypt that continues to this day.
In 1959, the geopolitical landscape of the Americas shifted permanently. Fidel Castro was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Cuba, cementing a revolutionary socialist state just 90 miles from the United States.
In 1968, a lifeline was born in Haleyville, Alabama. The very first 9-1-1 emergency call was placed, inaugurating a universal emergency system that has since saved countless lives across the nation.
And finally, in 2005, a major step for the planet. The Kyoto Protocol officially went into effect, binding major industrial nations to targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a historic effort to combat climate change.
That’s the way it was on this day in history.

안녕하십니까, 2월 16일 역사 속 주요 사건을 정리해 드립니다.
먼저 우리 민족에게는 잊을 수 없는 슬픈 날입니다. 1945년 오늘, '서시'와 '별 헤는 밤'을 남긴 민족 시인 윤동주가 일본 후쿠오카 형무소에서 27세의 젊은 나이로 옥사했습니다. 조국의 광복을 불과 6개월 앞두고 전해진 비통한 소식이었습니다.
세계사적으로는 고고학계의 가장 위대한 발견이 있었던 날입니다. 1923년, 영국의 하워드 카터가 이집트에서 투탕카멘의 무덤을 개봉했습니다. 3천 년 넘게 봉인되어 있던 황금 마스크와 유물들이 세상 밖으로 나오며 전 세계를 놀라게 했습니다.
또한 2005년 오늘, 지구 온난화를 막기 위한 국제 협약인 교토 의정서가 공식 발효되었습니다. 이는 인류가 기후 위기에 공동으로 대응하기 시작한 중요한 이정표로 기록됩니다.
이상 2월 16일의 역사 뉴스였습니다.
Global News Update: February 13, 2026
Good morning. It is Friday, February 13th, 2026.
The clock is ticking in Washington this morning as the Department of Homeland Security faces a midnight funding deadline. While the rest of the federal government remains open, this specific lapse is keeping defense and transportation stocks on edge. Markets are treading water, waiting to see if a last minute deal can be struck to avoid furloughing thousands of essential security personnel.
In the technology sector, Applied Materials has delivered a sober warning to the chip industry. Despite beating revenue estimates late yesterday, the equipment giant issued cautious guidance for the coming quarter. Management cited the mounting cost of new U.S. export controls, signaling that geopolitical friction is finally starting to bite the bottom line of the artificial intelligence boom.
Finally, global trade routes are shifting in real time. The new U.S. India trade pact is already diverting container traffic away from traditional hubs. This pivot has drawn sharp scrutiny from European regulators, who are now weighing their own protective measures to ensure they are not left behind in this new bilateral era.

안녕하십니까. 2026년 2월 13일 금요일 아침 뉴스입니다.
오늘 아침 워싱턴의 시계가 다시 긴박하게 돌아가고 있습니다. 국토안보부의 예산 마감 시한이 오늘 밤 자정으로 다가오면서 국방 및 운송 관련 주식들이 살얼음판을 걷고 있습니다. 시장은 수천 명의 필수 보안 인력에 대한 무급 휴직 사태를 막기 위해 막판 타결이 이루어질지 숨죽여 지켜보고 있습니다.
기술주 시장에서는 어플라이드 머티리얼즈가 반도체 업계에 경고음을 울렸습니다. 어제 늦게 발표된 매출은 예상치를 상회했으나, 경영진은 미국의 새로운 수출 통제 비용 증가를 이유로 향후 전망을 보수적으로 내놓았습니다. 이는 지정학적 갈등이 인공지능 붐을 이끄는 기업들의 실적에 실질적인 타격을 주기 시작했음을 시사합니다.
마지막으로 글로벌 무역 지형이 실시간으로 요동치고 있습니다. 미국과 인도의 새로운 무역 협정으로 인해 컨테이너 물동량이 기존 허브에서 이탈하고 있습니다. 이러한 급격한 변화에 대해 유럽 규제 당국은 자국 산업이 도태되지 않도록 보호 조치를 검토하며 예의주시하고 있습니다.
이상으로 아침 뉴스를 마칩니다. 고맙습니다.
